of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the
consideration, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity
or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale,
re-allotment or other disposal of the share.

     29. The Board of Directors may at any time before any share so forfeited

shares at the time of forfeiture until the payment together with the interest

instrument of transfer of any share shall be signed by or on behalf of both the
transferor and the transferee. However, the Board of Directors may decide at
their discretion that in the case of the transfer of fully paid up shares the
instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone.

The Board of Directors may also decide at their discretion that the signatures
on an instrument of transfer need not be witnessed. The transferor shall be
deemed to remain the holder of such share until the name of the transferee is
entered in the register in respect thereof. With regards to shares registered in
a Branch Register, the instrument of transfer may be in such form and may be
signed in such manner as may be allowed or accepted by law or custom prevailing
in the country where the Branch Register is kept, and inter alia, the instrument
of transfer may be by way of endorsement signed by the transferor only on the
Certificate of Title regarding the transferred shares or including them.

registered office of the Company, or at the office where a Branch Register of
the Company is kept (or as the case may be), or at any other place as the Board

the shares to be transferred and such other evidence as the Company may require
to prove the title of the transferor or the right of the transferee to accept
the transfer of the shares as aforesaid.

     37. No Ordinary "A" Shares shall be transferred to any person, whether or
not he is a member of the Company, unless the Board of Directors have previously
resolved to consent to the transfer - and, furthermore, the Board of Directors
shall not be bound to give any reason for their refusal or failure so to
resolve. Furthermore, the Board of Directors may decline to register or
acknowledge the transfer of any other share upon which the Company has a lien or
whilst any member executing the transfer is either alone or jointly with others
indebted to the Company on any account whatsoever or whilst any of the shares
desired to be transferred or any of them were not fully paid-up or unless the
transferee is approved by the Board of Directors and such refusal shall not be
affected by the fact that the proposed transferee is already a member in the
Company.

     38. The executors or administrators or heirs of a deceased member (not
being one of the several joint holders of the share)shall be the only persons
recognized by the Company as having any right whatsoever in respect of the
shares registered in the name of such deceased member and in the case of the
death of any one or more of the joint holders of any registered share, the
survivor shall be the only person recognized by the Company as having any title
to, or right in such share.

bankruptcy of a member upon such evidence being produced, as may from time to
time be required by the Board of Directors, of grant of probate or Letters of
Administration or Declaration of Succession or Order or certificate in
accordance with the laws of Bankruptcy or other evidence that sustains the
character in respect of which he proposes to act under this Article or which
signifies his title, shall be entitled with the consent of the Board of
Directors (which they shall be under no obligation to give) to be registered as
a member in respect of such share, or may, subject to the Articles as to
transfer herein contained, make such transfer of the share as the deceased when
alive or bankrupt prior to his bankruptcy could have made.

     40. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or
bankruptcy of the holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other
advantages to which he would become entitled if he were the registered holder of
the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in
respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right,
conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

SHARE WARRANTEES TO BEARER

writing signed by the person registered as holder of the share and authenticated
by such evidence, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time
require, as to the identity of the person signing the request and on receiving
the certificate, if any, of the share, and pay the amount of stamp duty on the
warrant, and such fee as the Board of Directors may from time to time require.
It shall be stated in the share warrant to bearer that the bearer of the warrant
is entitled to the shares therein specified. Provision may be made by coupons or
otherwise for the payment of dividends or other monies in respect of the shares
included in the warrant.

     43. A share warrant to bearer shall entitle the holder thereof to the
shares included therein. Such shares shall be transferable by way of the
delivery of the share warrant to bearer and the provisions of the articles of
the Company with respect to transfer and transmission of shares shall not apply
in respect of the shares included in the share warrant. The holder of a share
warrant to bearer shall, on surrender of the warrant to the Company for
cancellation, and on payment of such sum as the Board of Directors may from time
to time prescribe, be entitled to have his name entered as a member in the
register of members in respect of the shares included in the warrant which was
surrendered as aforesaid.

     44. The holder of a share warrant to bearer may whenever he wishes to
deposit the warrant at the office, and so long as the warrant remains so
deposited, the depositor shall have the same right of signing a requisition for
calling a meeting of the Company and of attending and voting and exercising the
other privileges of a member at any meeting held after the expiration of two
clear days from the time of deposit, as if his name were inserted in the
register of members as the holder of the shares included in the deposited
warrant, provided that the shares be of a class conferring the above rights on
the registered holder thereof. One person only shall be recognized as depositor
of a certain share warrant to bearer. The Company shall, on two days' written
and prior notice, return the deposited share warrant to bearer to the depositor.

     45. Subject as herein otherwise expressly provided, no person shall, as
holder of a share warrant to bearer, sign a requisition for calling a meeting of
the Company, or attend, or vote or exercise any other right of a member at
General meetings of the Company, or be entitled to receive any notices from the
Company, but the holder of a share warrant to bearer shall be entitled in all
other respects to the same privileges and advantages as if he were named in the
register of members as the holder of the shares included in the warrant and
shall be a member of the Company.

     46. The Board of Directors may from time to time make rules as to the terms
on which, if they shall think fit, a new share warrant to bearer or coupon may

been entitled to such dividend, and such resolution shall be effective.

The general meeting may also resolve to apply the sum capitalized as aforesaid
on behalf of the said shareholders in whole or in part, in payment at par, at a

payment as aforesaid shall be accepted by the above shareholders as full
satisfaction and payment of their rights in the sum capitalized as aforesaid.

value for distribution of any specific assets, and to determine that such
payment shall be made to any member upon the footing of the value as fixed or

rights of all parties and the Board of Directors may vest any such monies or
specific assets in absolute trusteeship to trustees for the persons entitled to
